PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- St. Johns County Schools has fired a physical education teacher at Allen D. Nease High School for allegedly engaging in inappropriate communications with more than one student.

Police, meanwhile, are continuing to investigate the case, which began as an allegation of sexual misconduct involving at least two male students, a law enforcement report shows.

District officials confirmed Thursday that Dionne Younce, 28, will likely be terminated from her teaching and coaching job during a school board meeting Feb. 9.

Christina Langston, a district spokeswoman, provided documents indicating that the district placed Younce on paid leave Jan. 20, after communications were discovered indicating alleged misconduct in office.

Langston wouldn’t describe the type of communications, such as whether they were texts or messages via social media, but she said they involved more than one student and multiple messages.

Written statements given to school district investigators from at least three students indicate Younce allegedly texted and direct-messaged some students. They also mentioned following her on Twitter, and that she had added them to her Instagram and Snapchat accounts.

Instagram and Snapchat are social media apps allowing users to post or send photos, but with Snapchat the photos or videos disappear after a few seconds unless the recipient takes a screen shot of them.

One student, who wrote that he’s on the football team, described having a relationship with Younce that turned from subtle flirtation during phone calls to “sexual snapping,” during which he and she sent nude photos to each other. He said that while attending a basketball game, he and a fellow football player sitting nearby both received the same Snapchat photo of Younce allegedly wearing only a bra.

He and another male student wrote in their statements that there had been rumors at school that they each had had sex with Younce, but both students said they had not.

A police report indicates that St. Johns County Sheriff’s deputies were called Jan. 20 to escort Younce from the school for “possible sexual misconduct” with students.

The report lists two male student victims, but their ages and names were redacted. The report also listed four other males whose names and ages were redacted and the names of two assistant principals.

The report lists two possible second-degree felony charges, described as a “lewd or lascivious act upon a child.”

Cmdr. Chuck Mulligan, a sheriff’s department spokesman, said there was no arrest or charges filed. He said the special victims unit is still investigating, including interviewing students.

Mulligan said some inappropriate communications with children are considered crimes and that a teacher can be deemed to have a “custodial position” of authority over a student, which involves another set of laws.

Younce was hired by the district beginning this school year and was still on probation when the allegations surfaced. According to the district’s letter, her probationary status means she cannot appeal her termination.
